Forest Fire of Burning Hearts

Why did God manifest a burning bush before Moses when He spoke to Him for the first time?People may ask where is the burning bush today? It is impossible for a bush to be on fire and not be consumed. 

Well to that I would like to first say “The LORD does whatever he wants, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and the deep oceans.” (Psalm 135:6 ERV) and secondly “Jesus answered, "God can do things that are not possible for people to do."” (Luke 18:27 ERV)

The burning bush, today, is the heart of the redeemed. At the new birth we are made saved from our sins and made into new creatures in our spirit (2Corinthians 5:17) and we are sealed as His children (Romans 8:17) by His Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13) who is the Dunamis (Power) of God (Acts 1:8), the All Consuming Fire comes to live in us. At that very moment our hearts are set ablaze and we are transformed from “complacent and compromising ones” to “PASSIONATE BURNING ONES” set apart by Jehovah Meccadeshichem (God who sanctifies us and sets us apart).

Now picture a forest fire; a spark from the Son of God lights up a dry heart….the heart is set aflame……now in a forest of dry hearts  the burning one brings the fire to the fuel and what you have is a full blown incendie, a terrible forest fire of burning hearts. But where a fire causes death and destruction the All Consuming Fire restores Health and Wholeness. From one dry heart to the other the Spirit Fire leaves behind a trail of hearts on Fire…..replacing tears with laughter, guilt with peace, and mourning with dancing; soothing pain with the oil of gladness!!

The early church was not about towering, magnificent edifices glorifying the works of man, it was the hearts of ordinary men set aflame with fire of Elohim by the Holy Spirit, rooted and grounded on the Rock of our salvation, Yeshua ha Maschia!! Persecution made them cry out for boldness (Acts 4:29), revelation left them thirsting for more, salvation was made available to all, jews and gentiles alike (Acts 10) and by His Spirit they were sealed as His own (Ephesians 1:13).

I strongly believe we are moving in to such a time again!! God is pouring out His Spirit on all flesh as He promised in Joel 2:28.

Let us not seek to douse this fire by making it about your own efforts instead let’s fan the flame by putting our faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ!!

"Not by [human] power, not by [human] might, but by My Spirit says the Lord!!!!" (Zechariah 4:6)

We are Your burning ones

We are consumed by You

We set our lives apart

We are consumed by You

So let this love be like a fire

Let our life be like a flame

Fill our souls with Your desire

Let our passion bring You fame
